So how was Osama doing? You must not have stayed in the right cave cause I'm sure he probably has an internet connection.

Why not, he has is on a dialasys machine (sp?) so there has to be at least power some place.

On a side note, has anyone seen the Family Guy intro that Stewie beats up on Osama and then it goes into a Naked Gun type of entrance. It's definitely worth watching on youtube (if it hasn't been removed)

BUY great quality gear, parts from RogueFactor, SoCal PRIDE!!feedbackRemember if it doesn't say RPG... it's not the real deal and probably voids the warranty

Might as well keep this going...

Since it has been referenced in another thread. Can't hate when peeps from way back when would rather post in this thread instead of others. Personally I like the old SoCal crew except for a few that lay claims to designs which aren't their own

I really wish LX wasn't such a stubborn mod...I would consider shooting a mag again...but I would like to use AGD parts that aren't modified...then again I'm happy where I'm at. GO CHARGERS!!!

PEACE to Gibb, TDS, RD, Flyboy, LeatherPants, No Skills...for those I didn't mention..I may have forgooten your name or I just don't care to mention you

BK

PS Peace to Mr. Tennesee...DIRTY BUNNY...Mr. LX himself!

LOL!! And since I'm accused of keeping this thread alive, I might as well contribute. Just stopping by to say...RIIIIIIISE FROOOOOM THE DEEEEEAD!!!!

Haven't been around in awhile, good to see this thread is still going! How was everyone's summer?

oh...and go gators.....

Yep, if there's one thing that's old and alive here on AO, it's this thread! HAHA!

As for my summer, lots of riding around preparing myself for a contest out in Houston next month. Paintball wise? I've only gone out to play once. But I plan on going out again sometime soon so I can try playing with my new toy:

I just barely got it this week! Unfortunately, I had to let go of my Karta Emag for a straight up trade. Either or, I'm sure I'll like this just as much.

sweet! I haven't gotten out to play since I moved to florida! I'd like to get back into it, but need to buy a whole new rig since I sold all my equipment. (and that's not happening anytime soon - I'm still a broke grad student)

Did my internship this summer, wasn't too bad. Now I'm just gearing up for the main job search. I absolutely hate looking for a job. I'm already getting some good interviews though. Although, once again, if anyone has contacts at a company that needs a MBA-finance grad, please let me know!

Bummer you lost out on the deal. j/k not to shabby. I'm hoping to get my pneumag wrapped up here by the end of Oct. I've got all the parts just not the skills.

Hehe...nah. Where I live, it's too expensive to play with a mag especially if you have to pay per 1000psi. Although I loved my Karta, I was getting a bit tired of the constant LX tweaks and leaks. Not to mention the fact that once you hit the 800psi mark in your tank, you're done. It's like having to fill up your car with gas even when you still have a quarter tank left just so you can keep on rolling.

As for my new toy, hopefully I can get out one of these days soon. I was able to dry fire it a few times and it felt sweet.

Good luck getting that Pnuemag set up. Let me know how you like it when you do.

As for that video game quote, I think I might have gotten it wrong. I believe it was actually "Rise from the Grave!" And it's from Sega's Altered Beast game.

I know they aren't easy but I never had more then two problems with my LX. Now air consumption was a little different but when I tuned into how many shots I fire per string I managed to squeeze 900 shots consistantly out of a 45/45 with my emag w/ LX. At 500 is when it would stutter.

Don't lie, you saw the bulletproof monk (BK) get one and that is why you switched.

Funny story there...when I decided to get rid of my mags Gibby told me about that gun so I researched it. While in the market for a new gun I found that one to fit all my needs, it was reliable, low maintenance, and air efficient (mag owners always say I get all day air so it doesn't matter..well $10 all day air compared to my cost to fill per 1000psi, I cut my air cost in half). Since Gibby lives near me now he understands why having a gun that efficient is a plus. So he knew about Vikings way before me and again pointed me in the right path as he had done in the past with Mags.

Plus when we went out to play and he had the wonderful KartaE we had a good time but then we couldn't keep the LX from leaking (leak fixed, 2 rounds later leak). So instead of wasting a day on teching (which of course we know maglovers like doing) I loaned him my gun on the X-ball field. I guess that helped him decide on moving foward and trying something different. So if anything the bulletproof monk only helped him decide on what type of milling to go for

Now the rest is history.

I was turned onto vikings by my cousin in fact a long time ago. I told BK about it. I was still more than satisfied with my Emag and I never thought about switching...but I always knew I would want one some day. The only factor why I never got one sooner was price. We all know that the Viking back then was SUPER expensive!

Living in LA, air fills were no problem. All day air was pretty cheap and back then, I could afford to spend a lot into my pb hobby. I didn't care so much about air efficiency until I moved down here. Not long ago, BK and I went to play at our local field and I was SHOCKED that they didn't have all day air and had to pay $1 per 1000psi. It's hard to enjoy yourself on the field when you can hear a slight leak, you know how bad mags are on air, and you feel compelled to play a different style because you are afraid you'll lose air. To me, that wasn't fun anymore.

I'm sure not long ago, you heard me complaining about a leak I couldn't seem to fix. I had to send it into AGD to have it tech'd and only then did they find a problem I probably wouldn't have found. The problem WASN'T related to the LX. It had to do with the internal seal at the base of the power tube tip. I loved the look of my Karta and it has a lot of history for me, but what good is it if I can't rely on something that used to be reliable?

I then had the opportunity to trade gun for gun. How could I resist?! Sometimes, you have to take a chance and change. I did that with my move from LA to SD. I think it was the best decision I've made so far. I am sure my decision from moving away from my Emag to my Viking is my second best decision.

Well it sounds like you didn't have problems with the LX then, you had problems with the valve. I'm just yanking your chain. We all move on in life. I dropped the electronic era 2 years ago and have decided that mech is much easier on the wallet. Unless I complete the pneu mode then I'll have a batteryless monster on my hands. Then I'll be back in the "e" boat.

I'm sure she shoots like a dream. I think it was yellow dart who had one that I played a couple of games with. They are nice but they are still to pricey for me (all at once anyway).

BK- I watched the bulletproof monk the other day and I did a double take thinking it was you on the screen. That is why I now deem you the "Bulletproof Monk".
